Sandy Puc’ and John Drury are proud to present The Body School

2 Sep

Personal health has always been a priority of mine. For the past three years, I’ve been working with my personal trainer, John Drury. Through this journey, I’ve been inspired to open The Body School to not only continue my own path to health and wellness, but also to help improve the lives of others.

The Body School is going to be a very exclusive gym with some very exceptional opportunities. This program was created to give people personal care and attention, as they set and reach their fitness goals. We will study various techniques, including yoga, TRX suspension training, martial arts and much more.

If you don’t know, we’ve been on the road and away from home, so we’ve been scavenger hunting around Canadian cities for unusual places to bring you exciting workout tips abroad! Go ahead and give the TRX Tip of the Day from Vancouver a try:

Aug 26 – 2010 Family Tour kickoff in gorgeous Vancouver, Canada

26 Aug

We made it! After a two and a half hour flight from Denver, we have finally arrived in gorgeous Vancouver—despite a
bit of a slow down in customs while we tried to stuff the lights, stands and rubber chickens in our bags…kinda funny. The weather is cool and breezy and the city is beautiful. We stopped and had some amazing seafood on the coast and now we are getting things ready/printed for the show! I will be posting photos along the way from our adventures, so feel free to follow along with our posts each day. Much more excitement to come.

Studio Tidbits and 2010 Family Canada Tour Kickoff!

26 Aug

Sandy Puc’ Portrait Design is very busy these days. Things are alive and well in our Colorado studio, and we’ve got a lot to tell you about. Every season brings new changes and as summer wraps itself up, we are ready to embrace the new events going on at SPPD.

Copies Shipping Soon
The first thing we’ve been waiting for and are really excited about is The Really Big Book of Studio Management. The book is a great resource for learning about the ins and outs of successfully running a photography studio along with an assortment of forms to assist your own studio’s projects. Basically, we’ve compiled a ton of beneficial management tools to contribute to the success of your own studio. If you haven’t checked it out yet, visit www.sandysworlduniversity.com/content/really-big-book-studio-management

PPA Charities
Each year the charitable arm of the PPA (PPA Charities) hosts Family Portrait Month to benefit Operation Smile. This year, we are creating all of the marketing pieces that photographers can use to market the fact that they are participating. Each photographer handles it differently in their studio but the idea is that it gives families the opportunity to get their family portrait done AND help a worthy cause at the same time. Each studio donates to the organization. Some donate a portion of sales and some a portion of the session. Learn more at www.operationsmile.org.

Tour Time
And last but not least, the 2010 Family Tour in Canada kicks off today, and we are really excited! After Canada we are headed to Europe again for the Bellies and Babies Tour-another exciting adventure with my amazing tour staff.

If you happen to be in Canada or know someone who might want to spend some time with us, visit www.sandypuctours.com for tickets. We’d love for you to join us. We’re coming to a city near you!

August 25 – Happy Birthday, Alek!

26 Aug

I hope everyone is having an awesome last weeks of summer. My kids went back to school last week, along with my oldest, Katie who just started college. With every season there are new changes, and I’ve been blessed to have such wonderful kids. Yesterday was my son Alek’s 17th birthday, and for all these years I have had the honor of watching him grow to a fine young man. He is a joy to be around and brings laughter to all who know him. To this day he is willing to share a hug. Happy Birthday Alek…You are one of my greatest treasures.

It’s summertime at Sandy Puc’ Portrait Design!

28 Jul

Hey All,

After a long trip from Europe, my family and I are happy to finally be back home! Ten countries in less than 6 weeks were exciting to see, but we’ve got a lot going on back here in Colorado. If you’re thinking about having a portrait taken before summertime ends, the time is not too late! If you’re interested in any of the special sessions below, feel free to book your appointment today at 303-730-8638. Here’s what we’ve got going on at the studio for the rest of the summer:

Football:

Does your little guy want to be a football star when he’s all grown up? Boost his all-star confidence with a football portrait session today! Football sessions are held at a local park and offer vintage-style uniforms and American flags to accentuate your little guy’s pro portrait.

Outdoor Family Sessions:

Colorado Family Outdoor Portraits

Bring the family to the park for an outdoor portrait session! Enjoy the park fun while we capture your family’s most memorable moments together. We’ve got some beautiful Colorado parks in mind with fresh green grass and natural wildflowers to enhance your family portrait. This is the best time to book your session, as you will get 30% off holiday cards for ordering early – just in time for the giving season!

School Portraits:

Coming September! This year, school portrait sessions will be held Friday, September 10th and Saturday, September 11th at our Littleton studio. Our school portrait sessions provide a relaxing experience for you and your child with traditional headshots at great, comparable pricing. Packages start at $42.50.

And aside from all the busy studio stuff, I’m happy and just a little sad that my oldest daughter, Katie, will be off to college in less than a month. It will be a big change for my family, but we are excited to see her spread her wings and start her own story. All of the sudden the portraits on my walls have become a reminder of how quickly time goes. I am so glad that I did not miss the chance to capture images of all of my children over the years. On a sillier note, Canon – “the pirate puppy” – just turned 1. Happy Birthday, Canon!

More of our adventures in Europe!

2 Jul

We have exhausted the kids. In Vienna, the kids slept through the whole tour. A LONG HOT night train to Poland. I decided to get cabs and not make the kids walk following a map. We got 2 and he took off. 66 Zlotys later we are there. We walk in, look out the window and we see the taxicab stand. We paid 66 zlotys to drive around the block and 50 feet from where we started. We laughed so hard!! When we got off the train, we arrived in Poland to visit Auschwitz. It is hard to imagine what went on in places like this, but I think it is important to never forget. What an incredible journey. From big cities to tiny farm towns, I am grateful for the blessing we have in the good ‘ol USA.  Here are some pictures that my oldest, Katie, took over the past few days:

An Update From Europe

16 Jun

We spent 2 days in Normandy.  The bomb craters and crosses in the cemetery will never be forgotten.  Later on, we took a 2.5 hour train, a 1.5 hour cab ride, 1:45 hour plane ride and a 30 minute cab ride to Madrid.  It looked like Colorado and we stayed with a friend.  The best meal was at the oldest restaurant in the world.  That’s to say, this place has been in existence since the 1700’s! They specialize in roasted suckling pig.  The next adventure was in the morning to exciting Barcelona, and the train ride was gorgeous.  Here are a few photos that my kids took in France!
